This playful series introduces children to various evolutionary traits that have helped animals adapt to their environment or way of life.
Why does a peacock have such extravagant tail feathers? Why do crocodiles have eyes on the top of their heads? Which animal is a master of camouflage? And who has legs not made for walking? Discover the coolest animal anatomy tricks!
Thanks to the fun layout with cut-outs, at first only a part of the animal’s body is revealed on the page. Will the young reader be able to tell which animal that mouth, skin, or eye belongs to? All you have to do is open up the page and the animal appears in all its glory and the child learns why the animal looks the way it does. So let’s get started!
"The illustrations are fun and colorful but not too cartoon-ish. The animals are drawn with personality but are still identifiable as specific wild animals. Children will enjoy comparing adaptations across several animal types and learning about how an animal’s body type affects the way they live, eat, and move. Some readers may want to look up each animal and see more of the habitat to which they are so well adapted. This is gently presented but sophisticated information about animal morphology and has a lot of words." ―Robin Shtulman, Athol Public Library, Athol
"Quite a decent little biology book – I normally don't like books like this that ignore the science of evolution, but even I have to admit it would be a bit too much. That said, this is all about evolution – and how five specific animals have adapted select body parts to end up more successful in life. So the compound eye, the prehensile tail, baleen feeding and more all get introduced through a window in a bonus flap in front of every left-hand page, with three factoids about the animal concerned. The right-hand page of what becomes a three-page spread clocks up four other animals as bonuses, and what they've got as a specialisation. Gentle, bright and a good little stepping stone, it will serve many an educator of the very young.! ―John Lloyd, reviewer
"If you want to know why some animals have such unique body parts this book is for you. Animals have different body parts so they can adapt and survive. I especially liked reading how animals can have different mouths. After all, we would imagine that is something that would be very similar with many because we all need to eat, but some are larger or smaller depending on what or how much they need to eat. This is a fun book. I really liked reading how animals have different unique body parts. This book is packed with facts and information as well as a fun guess, reveal, and read about the animal on each page. The pages are very sturdy. I look forward to more books in this series." —Liam - Age 9, Kids' Book Buzz
